I Owe You an Apology Lyrics by Uncle Bonsai

Apology

0

I knew a boy who said that happiness was lethal
\nI think I might have spoke of him before
\nI used every word I knew to say that
\nAll things being equal
\nWe are really not so different at the core
\nPiling on the syllables
\nJust trying to find some new twist
\nSometimes more is more, sometimes it’s less
\nAll those minutes wasted
\nFinding words to rhyme with hubris
\nThat’s a lot of baggage, I confess
\n
\nSuzy has a baby and another on the way
\nCharlie still makes sandwiches
\nI heard he might be gay
\nJohnny is successful, at everything he does
\nDoug is still a never was
\n
\nI knew a girl who thought that every man was evil
\nI’m sure I’ve sung about that once or twice
\nI could have told you more
\nBut I was never fond of sequels
\nMaybe I should take my own advice
\nHappily ever after seemed so ripe for exploitation
\nLooking back it seems a little cold
\nAfter what I’d have to call a really long vacation
\nSomehow I have softened, so I’m told
\n
\nI apologize for speaking out of turn
\nAnd for all the bridges that I might have burned
\nIf I made any kind of impact
\nThat wasn’t meant to be
\nI owe you an apology
\n
\nI knew a girl who said no love would ever fill her
\nI guess that she was lonely for a while
\nBut you can sing about diseases
\nYou can sing about a killer
\nJust as long as you can sing it with a smile
\n
\nK-Mart isn’t Kmart now, it’s just a Giant K
\nLove Boat is in dry dock, may it sail another day
\nOlivia Newton John is still a very peppy girl
\nI have been to Disney World
\n
\nI appreciate the kindness and concern
\nIt would take too long to tell you what I’ve learned
\nAll I really wanted was this opportunity
\nI owe you an apology
\n
\nYou know that it doesn’t take a genius
\nTo make your living singing ‘bout a penis
\nThere is nothing like shameless merchandizing
\nAnd I’ll say I’m sorry
\nWhen I’m through apologizing
\n
\nMore than the success for which I’ve yearned
\nI wish I earned a lot more than I earned
\nBut that’s not why I brought you here
\nAlthough it isn’t free
\nI owe you an apology
\nI’ll apologize again
\nIf that is what you want from me
\nI owe you an apology
\n
\nI knew a boy who said that happiness was lethal
\nI think I might have spoke of him before\n\n
